I really hope Mercedes never build this car. Would unfortunately be the ugliest Merc on the market.

[Sir_GT]

The Merc pick-up is the ugliest on the market. This is alright by comparison.

Well the pick-up isn't on the market yet and IMO it just looks like a pick-up nothing more or less.

at least i wouldn´t care if it looked like trabant, if it had NA 6.3liter V8, 503HP and the drive was good. But even if it had the power and looked good, buth handled like shit, i could not care less about the car. That is one daring concept, and i like it. MB build it, dont be bore ;)

Shooting breaks! That's what they call to this kind of cars.

And I love them! I like the S2000, the Z4 or the Boxster, but I think I would never buy them cause they are convertibles. So, this coupe versions are perfect. The Z3 M Coupe was awesome !! :o

[SPEEDKILLAR]

MB and BMW have gone made, damn, they need to relax a bit .

That SLT is :puke: please MB don't do it, I really don't understand, I've read that MB was planning to cut costs with their CORE managment to iprove MB quality and in 2007 they will (thank god) stop the production of the c sportcoupé, and now this thing :?

but I actually like that Z4 coupé, much more better than the current Z4.

BMW - Make it
MB - Don't

The Z3 coupe might have been one of the first BMWs that were either loved or loathed but i certainly think its mean looking and an exclusive car to own. The new Z4 coupe or whatever the final name when and if it is ever produced ratains the characteristics that made the Z3 coupe so special. It looks like nothing else in the market and if the engines available are going to be the high capacity inline six then the exclusivity factor is going to be there too. I am currently looking for a second hand(obviously) Z3 coupe(3.0) but this new Z4 coupe makes me have second thoughts. Does anyone have any info on the Z4 in English?

[bmagni]

wow, the z coupe really looks nice, the slt isnt that bad IMO, but not good enough to release it.

[noosee]

Z4 Coupe looks great.
Can't say that about Merc.

You're wrong! There's a Porsche Cayman coming out, Audi will made a version like this based on the new TT. So there will be 4 cars, at least :wink:

[gottacatchup]

FINALLY the Z coupe is reborn, although i must say it has lost some of its original charm. They way the sloped the back and tried to make it look more like a standard coupe rather than the hatch back doesnt really appeal to me like the original but still i'm glad its back.

[SilviaEvo]

i dont like either of them very much. but they might grow on me. not sure at the moment.

[sads]

I don't like the MB at all but the BMW is gonna take time to grow on me. I like the convertable versions of both cars but they look a bit strange with hard tops, but seeming the Z4 coupe is gonna have the new M3 V8 it'll get my vote for sure.

[Yablokov]

i dunno about the bmw version. but the one Adui will make i KNOW i will love! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[ae86_16v]

Yeah, I personally loved the original M Coupe. Thought it was a great looking car. But it was definitely a love it/hate it relationship with most people. Either way, the M Coupe will be a classic BMW.

It should be interesting to see if they could pull this one off.

I dont know what kind of resemblance you see between the cayman and the Z4 coupe :?. Ok they both have two doors but thats all.As i said before the Z4 coupe as the Z3 coupe have no direct competitors as far as looks are concerned . I havent seen or heard anything about an audi version similar to the bimmer and the MB so if anyone have any info i would be interested.

for most people 2seats is enough and then some luggage space, like is in 350Z, original Z3 Coupe was just like that, and in the retro look normal coupe body would not suit. so they did a boxy rearend. It is not let´s say beautiful, but i like it. And it does get the looks for being different...

It is different and kind of breadvan, but in my eyes it works ;) And even the base 3.0 Z3 coupe is fast around the ring. So it is not a barbers car, but like BMW says, the ultimate driving machine.

I'm dreaming :multi:

But there's only one original, the others will be just look alikes and copies. And the fact that MB nad Audi will make such cars speaks that the Z Cope is an outstanding car.

BTW I dont find any similarity between Porsche Cayman & Z Coupe[/list]

This last photoshop is horrible, it looks like a SUV.

But it would be a nice looking car for sure. MB won't make an ugly car :roll:

[Akmon]
